The information derived from screenings is to be considered preliminary and does not constitute a diagnosis. It is your responsibility to follow-up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and diagnosis.

Health / Wellness Services are available to Shasta College students who have paid the semester health fee and are registered at the time of service in credit-bearing courses for the current semester. Enrollment is verified with each visit.

With the exception of cholesterol screening and flu shots, there are no additional charges for services rendered in our office.

Good things to know:

The college nurse is a nurse, not a physician, and cannot make medical diagnoses. She can assess your complaint and pertinent body system and make a nursing diagnosis, discussing next steps of care.

It is not the intention of the college nurse to be identified as a primary healthcare provider. She will assist you with short-term / temporary health problems, but please stay connected with your primary healthcare provider for your on-going healthcare.

Medications. The office stocks a limited formulary of non-prescription, over-the-counter (OTC) medications to treat common - uncomplicated ailments. Students must self-select OTC's. Health center staff cannot recommend an OTC. Educational materials are available to assist with your OTC selection.
